Hello!
We are currently volunteering with Utopia 56 in the new refugee camp that's opened in Paris ( http://www.paris.fr/actualites/deux-camps-humanitaires- ). Ha ving been frustrated by the biased view of western media coverage on the refugee crisis, we would like to hand out disposable cameras to camp residents. This would allow them to offer their own perspective on life in the camp, and more broadly as refugees in Paris. The model has been used effectively in both Calais (http://www.helprefugees.org.uk/news/refugee-info-bus-empowering-refugees-calais/) and with homeless people in London (http://cafeart.org.uk/photography-contest/) to give insight into otherwise poorly documented lives. We plan to ask each photographer to write a message with the camera, in their own language, which we plan to then translate (into French and English) to offer a personal commentary alongside the series. Our hope is to exhibit these photos in order to raise money and awareness about the situation, particularly as this issue begins to fall out of the news following the Jungle clearance.
We'd be so grateful for any help you could offer, the money raised will go on materials for the project (cameras and development) with any excess being donated to Utopia 56.
Lots of love,
Rhona and Amy xxx
